ISKA Annual Conference – September 18th 2010
Theme: Play, a Remedial Tool
Keynote Speaker: Ulrike Farnleitner.
Venue: Camphill Community Dunshane, Co Kildare.
We look forward to another interesting and inspiring Annual Conference and all are warmly welcome, whether you work from a Steiner approach or not.  Steiner Education has always placed a great emphasis on Play and has built up valuable expertise and insight in this area which can be of benefit to all who work with young children, whatever their pedagogical base. If you are an ISKA Member, it coincides with annual membership fees falling due, and the cost is combined with the conference fee, making it extra good value for ISKA members.
